Tarpon Times

A warm, cloudy, moist ridge of low pressure began in the Acapulco Pacific and stretched to San Salvador and Cat Island in the Bahamas. Lowering syrupy skies and high-high tides with current from the new moon gave North Bay a tarpon- friendly set of conditions. Bonefish were out of the picture for me. Results were excellent with 5 fish over 80 pounds jumped, and 3 fish- 20, 30 and 50 pounds- leadered and released. I do not fish species as much as conditions.
